Today, US Reps. Bill Huizenga, MI-02 and Carolyn Maloney, NY-14, joined together to call for passage of bipartisan legislation that will once again allow local job creators - especially manufacturers and service industries - to compete on equal footing for contracts with the federal government. The Representatives were joined by small business representatives from across America that offered first-hand anecdotes about why this bill is important to help job growth on the local level. Currently co-sponsored by 12 bipartisan members of the US House and supported by 10 business organizations, this legislation, HR 3634, gives the taxpayer the greatest value for their hard-earned money by forcing federal agencies to bid for fair and reasonable prices and for products that best suit their needs. UNICOR, or Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI), is a government-owned corporation that employs prisoners under the Federal Bureau of Prisons to manufacture products and provide services in 89 factories in most states that are then sold to federal agencies. Those agencies are sometimes required to buy FPI products or services without being allowed to shop around for the greatest value. This legislation ensures that private companies have competitive access to those contracts as well.

BLOG COMING SOON!!!!!! I received the cashiers check today. I plan to take it to the local authorities and I've contacted craigslist Some email users have lost money to bogus offers that arrived as spam in their in-box. Con artists are very cunning; they know how to make their claims seem legitimate. Some spam messages ask for your business, others invite you to a website with a detailed pitch. Either way, these tips can help you avoid spam scams: Protect your personal information. Share credit card or other personal information only when you're buying from a company you know and trust. Know who you're dealing with. Don't do business with any company that won't provide its name, street address, and telephone number. Take your time. Resist any urge to "act now" despite the offer and the terms. Once you turn over your money, you may never get it back. Read the small print. Get all promises in writing and review them carefully before you make a payment or sign a contract. Never pay for a "free" gift. Disregard any offer that asks you to pay for a gift or prize. If it's free or a gift, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Free means free.

AK Steel is permanently clsoing its Ashland, Kentucky plant in 2011. The company currently has 263 hourly and salaried employees at the plant, which produces the blast furnace fuel for the company's iron- and steelmaking facility located separately in Ashland.

The remaining amount will result in cash payments made over several years, of which approximately $18M relates to employment costs and approximately $12 million relates to closure costs

According to Goldman Sachs' (NYSE:GS) economist Jan Hatzius, the Fed may purchase as much as $2 trillion of assets in an effort to stimulate the economy and could announce QE2 as soon as November 3rd. Hatzius expects "an announcement of $500B or perhaps slightly more over a period of about six months. The key question, however, is not the size of the first step, but how far Fed officials will ultimately need to move to achieve their dual mandate of low inflation and maximum sustainable employment." On July 21, 2010, Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE:GS) was upgraded to Outperform from Market Perform at Keefe Bruyette. The stock is trading at $156.74 which is 6.63% higher than the upgrade price of $146.99.
